Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2008 Crescendo, Sun Voyager, Independence, Bounty Hunters, and Yellowstone Class A diesel pusher motor homes. These vehicles were built on Freightliner Custom Chassis from March 18, 2005, through December 2009. The recall covers 443 affected units.
The recalled motor homes are equipped with Bosch hydraulic disc brakes. When exposed to long periods of non-driving, the brake caliper pistons may experience diametrical growth and reduced clearance. This can lead to brake drag and overheating, resulting in reduced brake performance. Reduced brake performance increases the risk of a crash.
Freightliner Custom Chassis will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. An interim letter was mailed by Daimler Trucks North America on August 6, 2012. Owners may contact Gulf Stream Coach at 1-800-289-8787 or Daimler Trucks/Freightliner Custom Chassis at 1-800-547-0712.
